Your delay could be due to the municipality approvals, but take heart. Lokandvala are good developers and the quality of construction is expected to be good.

Look at it positively, what's the point in having the building up and not having the infra structure in place. I do not see any roads in sports city ( correct me if I am wrong ).

I was happy when I was told that project in Business Bay was delayed. Firstly because it gave me breathing space on the payment as the finance expected did not work out and secondly the business bay infra structure and electricity power requirements might be a problem. Dubai is not geared to supply so much power at this stage.

I attended the International real estate exhibition in Dubai and one of the developers was saying that the master developer actually told them to slow down their pace of construction because of infra structure and power problems. Now I do not know how far that is true but I would definitely see sense in that even if they said it. A few of the buildings in Discovery gardens ( so I hear ) are not handed over because of power issues.

At this stage your concern should be quality of construction which I do not feel will be a problem as Lokandvala's are premier developers in India and they will not tarnish their reputation because of their first project in Dubai. Being the first project they would like to do a good job of it and compared to the volume of construction they handle in the Indian market, this is like a drop in the ocean.

So then relax, fasten seat belts... that's my advise.
